    Default Where to buy mobil oil in bulk

    I change my oil fairly regularly and ive been doing some oil changes on a few other cars anyways im kinda sick of going to the auto shop every time i need oil and it would allways be nice to save some money by buying in bulk

    I like mobil 1 oil and id like to start buying it in 20ltr drums ive had a look around on the net and mobils website for distributers and i cant seem to find anywhwere in sydney from my searches altho i could be looking in the wrong places

    so yeah if anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction thatd be great

    I dont like Mobil 1 - it's too thin for a 4A IMO, and too pricy....

    ... however, PM Toobs on these forums - he can supply Gulf Western oil in 20L drums. Damn good pricing too.

    Gulf Western do a fully synthetic oil too, so you can stick to synth if you want.

    Personally i've been buying the GW Protecta semi-synth 15W-50 oil. Damn good stuff, used about 60L in past couple of years
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    Yeah that's fair... but GW do have oils to suit the S2000.
    They even have a specific "DRIFT and ciruit racing" oil - http://www.gulfwestern.com.au/products.asp?id=148

    After using the the protecta ultra for my 4age, 4age, 18rge, and many other engines ive worked on.... i'm more than happy with it.

    Also, the ultraclear 75W/90 gear oil is one of the best gearbox oils ive used, which ive tried in C52, C56, E58-11C, W50, T50, W58.

    All the GW products -

    This seems like a great idea.

    What kind of shelf life does synthetic have?

    Looks like Gulf 1is the only fully synthetic one they have that you can buy in bulk.

    Pacific Petroleum
    http://www.pacificpetroleum.com.au/

    Can supply 20L of any of the mobil oils (and 5L bottles). Well priced too. I just bought a 5L bottle of 10w30 and 15w50 from them.

    20L of GW HiTech Premium would go down well here, kinda convenient the 102 and the 55 use 20W50
